Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 73 After parking her car in the underground garage , Joycelyn sent Ellison a message to let him know the gathering was over and she was heading home ..

It was a way to keep him updated and ensure she was safe .

To her surprise , he called her right after .

Are you heading home already ? Ellison had just arrived at the private room .

Yeah , Joycelyn replied .

By the way , I wanted to ask when are you coming back ? Or are you staying out tonight ? As she buckled her seatbelt , she glanced up and saw a familiar white Rolls Royce .

It was Rubys car , the one she had seen before at the Rolex store .

Maybe later , Ellison responded , and just as he did , William opened the door to the restaurants private room .

Carmelo had planned an early birthday celebration to invite a traditional medicine professor who had just returned from abroad .

Although young , he was highly skilled and could potentially help with Isoldes treatment if things went well .

Joycelyn didnt press for more details , feeling it wasnt her place to intrude into Ellisons personal life .

The noise on Ellisons end grew louder , and she casually replied , Alright , Ill drive carefully .

Yeah , take care , he said solemnly before preparing to hang up .

Just then , Cecilia rushed in , panicked .

Carmelo , Ellison , Ruby is missing ! Joycelyn overheard that and frowned .

Seeing the words Call Ended on the screen , Joycelyn helplessly pressed her lips together .

She started her car and pulled out of the garage , heading home .

She assumed Ellison was concerned about Ruby , which was why he hung up so abruptly .

But in reality , it was just coincidental timing when Cecilia burst in with the news .

She just left , how could she be missing ? Carmelo sounded more agitated than anyone .

Ellison furrowed his brow , pocketing his phone , and said , William , go help look .

Ill wait for Leah .

About twenty minutes later , Ruby was found in the service stairwell , unconscious with severe facial injuries .

By the time Joycelyn arrived home and parked , Lucy called her .

Joycelyn , did you get home okay ? Everything alright ? Lucys voice was filled with concern .

1/3 12:26 Thu , 13 Feb Chapter 73 Im home , no problems , Joycelyn replied as she locked her car and took the elevator upstairs .

79 % Oh , good .

I just overheard Caroline and Tenley gloating in the bathroom , saying theyd make your face look like a mess .

I was worried you were in trouble .

You didnt pick up when I called earlier , it freaked me out ! I was driving , couldnt answer the phone , Joycelyn explained .

Ah , the police are here .

Lucy added , noticing a group of officers entering .

She immediately stepped aside .

The police ? What happened ? Joycelyn asked , surprised that a dinner gathering would involve law enforcement .

+23 ) Holy crap , theyre here to arrest Caroline ! Its like catching a little chick .

Lucy sounded shocked , quickly updating Joycelyn on the situation .

Joycelyn was confused , feeling like she had come home too early and missed the big news .

She switched her phone to speaker and listened closely .

Amidst the noise , a voice rang out with authority .

Caroline , youre under suspicion of hiring someone to harm Miss Wilson , injecting her with substandard skin care injections that caused severe facial disfigurement .

Your accomplice has been arrested .

Come with us .

Joycelyn was stunned by the words .

She thought about the white Rolls Royce in the underground garage .

Joycelyn thought , Could it be Ruby ? How dare Caroline do something like this to Ruby ? Lucy , whats going on ? Joycelyn asked , her curiosity piqued .

Im calling you on video , Lucy quickly hung up and dialed again .

In the video , Caroline was in shock as she faced the police , her face pale .

What Miss Wilson ? I dont know her , you must have the wrong person .

Her eyes darted nervously , clearly guilty .

Your accomplice has already confessed , dont try to deny it , one of the officers said sternly .

Caroline , now visibly trembling , said , I dont know Miss Wilson .

Its them , they must have mistaken the person .

I told them to target that bitch Joycelyn , not Miss Wilson .

Joycelyn froze as she listened , her back suddenly cold , feeling a chill all over .

This was getting stranger by the minute .

She thought back to Rubys outfit earlier today her black and white Chanel style business attire .

Joycelyn glanced at her own outfit .

Although the cuts were different , it was also black and white , and similar in style .

Hers was just a longer skirt .

Oh my god , this bitch really tried to set you up .

Looks like her people made a mistake , Lucy gasped .

Shes finished , Joycelyn said coldly , a sinister smile forming on her lips .

Caroline had sealed her own fate .

Trying to destroy Ruby , now she was going down .

Lucy , still recording , continued to follow the scene , and at that moment , Joycelyn caught a glimpse of a familiar figure .

The elegant and distinguished aura could only belong to Ellison .

9/2 12:26 Thu , 13 Feb 9 Chapter 73 Joycelyns gaze froze , watching him intently .

He was surrounded by men … Earlier , she thought he had gone to the dinner because of Ruby , but now Ruby was in trouble .

She wasnt sure if Ellison would come back .

After chatting with Lucy for a while , Joycelyn ended the call , feeling oddly empty .
